Which of the following points lie in the solution set to the following system of inequalities? y less than or greater to x - 5 y less than or greater to -x - 4 (1, 10) (-1, 10) (10, 1) (1, -10)
huh, so is it d?
no i misread your thing just plug in the coordinates and see if it makes sense in both cases
what do you mean by less than or greater to
So, you just plug it in?
This! |dw:1353111330549:dw|
\[(y \le x-5) and { y \le-x-4}\]
try (1;10) you get 10<-4 and 10<-5 in this case it doesn't make sense try the next one
Ok, thx for helping me! what is the next?
I don't thi the nex tis right. :(
try (-1;10) 10<-6 and 10<-3 this also doesn't make sense
try (10;1) 1<5 and 1<-14 first one makes sense but second doesn't so it must be the last one but we should verify
-10<-4 and -10<-3 which makes sense right?
I guess, so it is d?
yup negative ten is smaller that -4 and negative ten is smaller that negative three so both statements are true and the answer is d
Ok, thx so much! :D
